A PCSAT2 FM Repeater Experiment

This thursday, 29 Sept on two morning passes over
the Eastern USA, Naval Academy students will
attempt a special experiment via PCSAT2.
They will watch for APRS or UI packets heard via
the PCSAT2 145.825 uplink and will QSL those
packets by VOICE on the 437.975 downlink. The
two passes involved will be 0850 EDT and 1026 EDT.
Users who want to participate should transmit
their packets on 145.825 VIA ARISS, and although
your packets will be digipeated on the 435.275
downlink, the fun will be to see if the midshipmen
can speak to you in response on 437.975 FM voice.
To minimize interference, just during these passes,
the normal ARISS packet system on 145.800/145.99
will be temporarily disabled. This is a new un-tried
experiment, so there are no guarantees of success,
but we thought it would be fun to give it a try.
